their voices were changing. All voices
change once-some change twice-when
their owners are about 10 to IA years of
age. All singing at this period should
cease, unless under an exceptionally thor

a great many fine voices annually. The
teachers are not to blame-they cannot i'm

The Old Case Of the oyster.

Judge Lochren yesterday afternoon heard
motion for new trial in somewhat pc
culiar case. and one that has cost the
county and the parties interested several
times as much as the horse involved is
worth in coin of the realm. 1t appears
that some years ago, when Hugh Cochran,
now resident of this county, was living in
LIE Sueur, he lost a horse, which strayed
away from home. About year ago he
happened to be in Anoka and there saw
horse which he thought was his. One
Joseph Paul claimed the animal and was
not disposed to give it up. Suit was com-
menced by Mr.. Cochran, who introduced
large number of witnesses to prove that the
horse was his. Mr.. Paul had witnesses to
show that the horse was his. A long and
bitter trial ensued, and a verdict was re-
turned finding Mr.. Paul to be the owner of
the horse. and that it was worth about
$50. This verdict did not suit Mr. Coch-
ran and so he has petitioned and set his at
torneys at work to get a new trial, when he
thinks he can prove beyond reasonable
doubt that the horse is his.

MINNEAPOLIS
SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

To many people these words are the
slinchers to all arguments on the labor ques-
lion. Even to intelligent business men it
IS not a new idea that the authority of these
words has been called in question-for
many such men have never heard, read. or
suspected that great numbers of our ablest
writer's refuse to accept of this old shibbo-
leth as a settler to all pleas for the mitiga-
lion of the sufferngs of some of our work
ing classes. In fact. large majority OF
Hell-informed men use these words with
confidence that ignorance cannot excuse,
because such ignorance is simply criminal.
Ofcourse this train of thought is CONNECTED
with the discussion referred to yesterday.
Dur article was too short to present the
matter in its fullest form and we will add
/ little to it to-day. for the sake of defining
Dur position, and throwing some light on
the question.
We assume that the labor agitation is
founded on something realm fact, Oh
grievances and sutferings that are too great
to be endured silently. When we are told,
On good authority-when we know as facts
coming under our own observation that
hundreds of thousands of men. boys and
girls are deprived of all the joys OF child
hood, are compelled 10 sacrifice health and
life in crowded and unventilated shops and
manufacturers because they can work
cheaper than their parents can, and, there
fore must take their places, we dissent from
the notion that the words supply and de-
mand are sufficient. Mr.. BAsSETT may
satisfy himself with it, and, in the particu-
lar application he makes ofit, may be right.
but we must admit and assert that when
the '.cry of the children" rises up to heaven
that it is high time to inquire whether
some increase of demand or limitation of
supply is not possible. The eight-hOur
specific may or may not be a true remedy.
but the inquiry whether it is or is not what
is wanted is certainly in order, and expert
ments in regard to its workings ought to be
made.
So far we are on solid ground, and, if
we should 60 step further, and assert that
for the moral and intellectual improvement
of the working classes the eight hour system
is better than ten. or even nine hours a day,
we should have the support of the great
majority of those who have paid the most
attention to the general subject. As re-
CARDS the quantity of production, that is a
matter TOO small to be taken into the ac-
count at all, when the question is, What
is best for the welfare of the race?" Poverty
such poverty as our backwoods settlers
endure-iS not a bar to intelligence, health,
security and happiness, and if we cannot
add on the refinements and luXuries of life
without forcing our little ones into the
ranks of the incessent toilers, then let these

RATHER SINGULAR CASE,
And One Over Which Attorneys Use
n sharp Words.

10 Snarp WORDS.
Yesterday morning, on motion of w. G.
Hollins. Judge Lochren issued an order tor
writ of habeas corpus in the case OF
Michael English. English was indicted at
the December term of the court for grand
larceny. and on Dec. so was found guilty
OF the charge. At the time of the trial
Judge HOllinS excepted to the charge OF the
court and to the verdict. and asked for a
stay OF proceedings for five days to move
Tor new trial. This motion was never
| argued and was never passed upon, in fact,
MI. HollinS is now trying to secure the re-
lease OF English on the grounds that the
county attorney never moved for sentence
during the term; no sentence was passed
upon English and no Judgment entered; the
term OF court expired and lapsed; that ever
since Dec. 80, 1886, English has been con-
fined in the county jail without
bail and without day by order of the
court awaiting the movements of the county
attorney; that the court has gone, and that
no authority is vested in the judge to pass
sentence or enter judgment against English.
and that the same would be nudity. The
judge took the matter under advisement.
apd arguments will be made Monday.
The remarks of Mr.. HollinS did not strike
County Attorney Davis very favorably, and
as soon as that gentleman had finished
speaking he jumped to his feet and ex-
claimed that he had kept putting off the
case at the request of Mr.. HollinS, in order
that ne might move for new trial. but
now am very sorry that l did do it" he
added, glancing sharply at Mr.. Hollins.
IF am ever SO accommodating to him
again, l shall demand that he give Inc a
written contract TO do as he agrees to. u
Judge HOllins. when Mr.. Davis sat down,
addressed the court, saying he had never
asked favor of Mr.. Davis, but what he
| (Davis) had acted like ''hog with bris-
ties. At this point Judge Lochren re-
marked that he cared to have no more per-
sOnalitieS.
